Small Town Girl Spencer, LaVyrle

Tess McPhail fled her small Minnesota town at eighteen with a guitar and a dream, and became a country music superstar. Now she's back for her mother's hip surgery — reluctantly — to a place where everyone still remembers the girl she was, not the star she became. There's Kenny Kronek next door, the high school bad boy turned responsible single father. There's her chaotic family who never understood her ambition. And there's the realization that the life she built in Nashville might be missing something essential. LaVyrle Spencer delivers a tender second-chance romance about reconciling who you were with who you've become, set against the rhythms of small-town life and the pull of unfinished business. For anyone who's gone home and wondered if they left too soon — or stayed away too long.
